Bio

I have over 20 years experience teaching English to non-native speakers of all ages. In 1995, my family and I moved to South Korea, where I taught English for almost three years. After returning to my home town of San Diego, I continued teaching at various local English language schools.

In addition to teaching in a classroom setting, I have privately tutored for my entire career. I have experience in all aspects of English, including grammar, writing, reading comprehension, listening,...

I have over 20 years experience teaching English to non-native speakers of all ages. In 1995, my family and I moved to South Korea, where I taught English for almost three years. After returning to my home town of San Diego, I continued teaching at various local English language schools.

In addition to teaching in a classroom setting, I have privately tutored for my entire career. I have experience in all aspects of English, including grammar, writing, reading comprehension, listening, test preparation, and conversational skills. My test preparation experience includes the TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, and Cambridge tests.

It gives me great satisfaction seeing students progress in their overall fluency in the English language. I am very flexible in tailoring each lesson to meet the needs of each student I work with. Over the years, I have compiled many teaching materials that I use to help my students achieve their goals.

I have many years experience working with students from 50 different countries. I have also been a homestay host for most of my teaching career. This has given me great insight into the cultural and language challenges faced by English language learners.

I look forward to hearing from you and helping you meet your goals!

Knowledgeable and patient teacher

My daughter is in fifth grade. She is an ESL student. She has taken 8 lessons from Mark. He is a kind and patient teacher. He teaches a lot of examples for explanations. My daughter is taking her classes relatively comfortably without much pressure. Above all, Mark has a lot of teaching materials. He prepares classes well and explains in detail every time. I am very satisfied with his teaching. I intend to continue taking classes from Mark.

Direct to the point!!

Mark reviewed two writing essays. His review was very thoughtful. It also demonstrated that he is very knowledgeable about the language and the TOEFL requirements.

Great coach

Mark is very professional. He is been helping my wife for 4 months. We have made more progress in that time than years of self learning. He designs good exercises for us and have a lot of practice and fun!
